Not really a punishment then, is it?
My sister and I have that particular sibling relationship where we love each other, but don't actually like each other very much, to the extent that any car journey we took in our teenage years would rapidly degenerate into petty bickering. As this coincided with mum reaching "a certain age", this sometimes led to mini temper explosions from her.

We were on holiday in Scotland* when we decided to go to the beach*. We all piled into the car and, sure enough, my sister and I started arguing. After twenty minutes or so, mum had had enough. "IF YOU TWO DON'T STOP BICKERING RIGHT THIS MINUTE" she bellowed "YOU CAN GET OUT OF THE BLOODY CAR AND WALK TO THE BEACH!"


After pausing a moment, I opened the car door and stepped out.

Into the beach carpark.

Where we had just parked.




*I know, I know.

Missed her chance to drive off,
abandoning you to the waves and the werehaggis.
